Though aesthetic legislation is now common practice in most cities and jurisdictions, the architecture literature has failed to address the issues and problems in this area. This volume corrects this omission by offering guidelines on creating and administering a design review programme. Covering the latest developments in the widespread pracice of design review, this volume should benefit architects, urban planners and policymakers, land use attorneys, and historic preservation professionals who must create, apply, or participate in design regulation. This book should be of interest to professional architects; urban planners; construction designers; and civil engineers.
